Haven't been keeping up super well with the blog. Can't say I'm doing super great with the walking either, but the walking is at least going better than the blogging. I'm still just having a hard time thinking of walking as a workout.
But, less than one week until the 1/2 marathon. I bet walking 13.1 miles will feel like a workout...

Wonderful walk
What a beautiful weekend! A wee bit hot on Saturday... but so nice to be enjoying spring!!
Saturday was the day that I got to walk 9 miles with my friend. Well, 8.75 according to the Nike +. It was actually a lot easier to walk with someone. Good conversation made the time go by. Plus I wasn't listening to my music... perhaps listening to my running playlist is part of my urge to run. It was still a little hard to see others out running... especially one young petite thing that appeared more pregnant than me. But then I'm not as petite or young as her so I would guess her body can take more than mine.
The distance was almost easy. Our pace was a little slower than I'm hoping for the 1/2 marathon, but that hope may change when another month adds more preggo weight to me. If not I think pushing the pace will be easier on race day. My feet felt fine, even where the blisters are healing. Legs were a little tired by the end. And today my left calf is pretty tight. I'd say it was a very successful walk.
Today I just got in a mile walk. Hardly a workout, but something. Most workdays I'm doing two miles now. And trying to do another 2 in the evenings. Building those base miles in seems to help.
Now if I could just find some motivation to work my arms a little...
